Vincent Gallo is a fine actor and a leading man. But, unfortunately he is completely unbelievable as a talk show host. The idea that the Bobby Bishop Show has an audience at all is absurd. Gallo is unfunny and has no stage persona. One could argue that his persona was altered because of his mental breakdown. There have been far better fake on-air breakdowns. NetworkLarry Sanders ShowGroundhog DayEven Studio 60This is a concept that is innately funny but very difficult to pull off. Mr. Gallo did not pull it off--unfortunately, this is the entire concept of the movie. I enjoyed seeing Mr. Gallo and Ms. Cox go at it as a romantic pair but the movie is flawed from the beginning with a poor performance by Mr. Gallo. He is, however, great in every scene he is not actually performing the duties of a talk show host. I cannot recommend this film, though, because the concept is so flawed that the rest of the scenes lack credibility.

i think this could be the worst attempt at stylish editing i have ever seen. i felt embarrassed watching it sometimes. i don't mind the film being bad so much but there was a certain smugness about the 'wackyness' of the humour that was extremely off putting. There is nothing new here, even though the writing is packaged as if we have never seen anything like this before. Drawn out supposedly awkward scenes just appear boring and clunky. There were one or two nice scenes with vincent gallo and Monica from friends. A lot of space in the dialogue for them to play with it, probably more due to lack of characterisation than creative freedom. Very poorly made film that feels very arrogant. i wouldn't really recommend this film. I only watched it because i like vincent gallo but even he under performed in this lukewarm disappointment. happy new year.

I had not seen any trailers or heard any reviews about this film. I rented it for the sole purpose of seeing one of my favorites, Courteney Cox. The scenes with Cox and her brother & mother are supreme, and she steals the scene when on-screen with Gallo. Good fun, even if just for the guilty joy of watching my favorite "friend" get angry and curse. Well cast and well acted. B+

I'm a Vincent Gallo nut. I love the guy and would even watch a movie of him reciting the phone book. That would probably be more entertaining than sitting through 'Get Well Soon'. Apparently this is a comedy. Coulda fooled me. The only laugh I got out of it was the sheer audacity of the video cover blurb which said it was "in the tradition of 'There's Something About Mary'. Say what?! '..Mary' was actually funny, 'Get Well Soon' isn't. And apart from that the similarity is? You tell me!Vincent Gallo ('Buffalo 66', 'Palookaville') plays Bobby Bishop, a hip talk show host. He appears to be cracking up. He leaves his show in disgrace to return to New York and look up his old girlfriend (Courtney Cox) and attempts to woo her back. Mixed up with this are various, I hesitate to even call them sub-plots, involving mental patients and Matthew Broderick's dog. It's too stupid and pointless to even bother elaborating. Gallo radiates charisma, and is always watchable, even when the material is as poor and as dull as this. And boy! is it poor and dull.The supporting cast includes Jeffrey Tambor (best known for 'The Larry Sanders Show', and who, funnily enough, was actually in 'There's Something About Mary'), Anne Meara (veteran character actor/comedienne, and mother to Ben Stiller), and Elina Lowensohn ('Schindler's List' and various Hal Hartley movies).This is easily the worst movie Vincent Gallo has been involved with. It's even worse than 'Arizona Dream' which at least had a handful of outstanding scenes involving Gallo to redeem it. 'Get Well Soon' is a tedious bore from start to finish. I honestly can't think of one good thing about it. The fact is it's an awful movie that will please nobody. Let's just pretend it never happened...
